METAL 2008 - OFFICIAL THREAD

[Life Sucks]

That album may be my number 2 of the year so far after the Arghoslent. The albums by Hegemon and Dead Congregation are up there as well.

Since when did Dark Tranquillity decide to release an album. I was blog searching and just came across it.
Dark Tranquillity - A Closer End 2008 but doesn't give a release date.

I don't see anything on the DT forum regarding this. How about a link to this blog?

 

[Belligerent]

I'll PM it to you since it's available for download.

Yeah I saw that on bunalti, I'm going to reckon it'll suck anyways

 

[Zephyrus]

I'll PM it to you since it's available for download.

It's not a new album. It's mostly a compilation of covers and what not, but it looks like a few new songs, perhaps. I'll ask about it on the DT forum.

 

[Zephyrus]

OK I got an official reply on this. It wasn't made by the band, and none of the songs are new.

Keep of Kalessin - Kolossus (Black Metal; Nuclear Blast) - June 2008

Release date June 6th.

Triune Impurity Rites is being repressed and there's no word on a limit this time. It should be rearing its head at distros soon.

 

[supseudonymous]

It's available at hellsheadbangers.

Nuclear Winter has it too, but I'm going to hold out for some larger distro to offer it at a better price.

 

[skeptik]

Both CD and LP are limited to 1000 from what I understand.

 

[Life Sucks]

The new Nyktaglia is also awesome. Listening to it right now. A definite contender for top ten of the year.

the new Gama Bomb is out, pretty good crossover

 

[rms]

new Bonded by Blood is out(leaked)

I still need to check that out. I doubt it will be that good though.

It is not better than their debut.

Both the first album and the new one are fantastic. The new one is less raw and more melodic, so it's easier to get into. It's definitely melodic black/doom.
